Patent EP-1346620-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MIERMANS HUBERTUS C
IPC: H02H7/08
Filed: 2001-11-29
Abstract: In a protection circuit for a plurality of fans, an element is associated with each fan. The impedance or the current value of the element indicates the operation condition of the fan. For example, the impedance or the current value may be low if the fan is operative or functioning normally, and high when the fan is inoperative or functioning abnormally. The elements are arranged in parallel between two conductive lines. A detection circuit determines the total impedance or current value between the two lines. If the total impedance or current is not within a predetermined range which indicates that all fans are operating normally, at least one of the fans functions abnormally. The number of lines required to convey the operation status of the fans to the detection circuit is only two and does not depend on the number of fans involved.

Abstract: This invention relates to the multiplexing of multiple sources in a multiplexer. A special arrangement is used for calculating an efficient peak capacity value that guarantees good performance for an outgoing link. The invention uses a method with two phases. The first phase precalculates the capacity of the outgoing link with different numbers of incoming links having equal packet size, and forms a table from the results of the precalculation. In the second phase, the peak capacity needed for the outgoing link is calculated using the precalculated tables.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for preventing lock-up of an LCD is provided, in
which a voltage on a pin of the LCD is monitored, and determined whether an
electrostatic discharge (ESD) has been applied to the LCD based on the monitored
voltage, and the LCD is reset if an ESD has been applied to the LCD. In a preferred
embodiment, the LCD pin which voltage is monitored exhibits a voltage level change, in
response to an ESD, that is greater than a voltage level change exhibited by all other
individual pins of the LCD. Because the LCD is reset only when an ESD condition has
been detected, periodic blinking of the LCD is prevented.

Abstract: C-type lectins are involved in the binding of many different types of
carbohydrates. Considering their diversity in kind and expression of different
types of cells, the influence of such binding is very diverse and dependent
among others on the type of cell, the environment of the cell and the type of
carbohydrate bound. In the present invention new carbohydrate specificities of
C-type lectins are disclosed. Interference with this binding property has uses
in the prevention of pathogen binding and also in influencing signaling
pathways in the C-type lectin containing cell, particularly in Toll like receptor
expressing cells such as dendritic cells. Also provided is the use of the
carbohydrate specificity to enhance antigen presentation by antigen presenting
cells and to manipulate migration of C-type lectin containing cells and the
interaction of C-type lectin expressing cells with cellular ligands on
neighboring cells.
